Backpack Explorer Family Nature Wander

July 15, 2023

A copy of the book “Backpack Explorer: On the Nature Trail” sits on a mossy rock in a dark, leafy forest. The cover of the book is an illustration of a teal back filled with items from nature, including a blue jay feather, leaves, flowers, acorns, a caterpillar, and a magnifying glass.

Join HLT and the Belding Memorial Library for a morning of nature exploration inspired by Backpack Explorer: On the Nature Trail, a take-along field guide for children ages 5 to 10. We’ll practice nature observation skills and discover ways to connect with the natural world through fun hands-on activities.  At the end of the wander, […]

Grassland Birds Talk

July 8, 2023

A bobolink, a black, yellow, and white bird, perches atop a weathered fence post against a blurry green background. The Hilltown Land Trust and Trustees logos are overlaid on the right.

Here in New England, our hayfields, pastures, and meadows serve as vibrant breeding grounds for threatened grassland bird species such as the beautiful bobolink. Learn about these sensitive species and how to manage habitat for them with a talk by Pete Westover. We’ll follow his talk with a birding session in the hayfield at The […]

June Hike at Conwell

This trail covers a diverse range of habitat types, and features evidence of beaver and great blue heron activity at the swamp. The rain date for this […]

All About Beavers

May 21, 2023

A beaver dips its paws into the edge of a pond, framed by dry grasses.

Have you ever wondered what we would do without our semiaquatic rodent friend the beaver? From improving water quality, trapping and storing carbon, to counteracting some of the worst pollution from agriculture and ­fossil-fuel emissions– the beaver does it all. Join Hilltown Land Trust and beaver naturalist Drew Johnson to learn more about the considerable positive […]
